Data underlying the longitudinal field study with AnimaTo included in Chapter 6 of the PhD thesis "Temporal, Unpredictable, Multisituated: Designing Performativity in Textile-forms for Multimorphism"

This project investigates the material experience, particularly the performativity, of an everyday textile-form artefact, namely AnimaTo. We designed AnimaTo to display morphing behaviour when exposed to water over two sequential stages: shrinking and unfolding. Then, we deployed AnimaTo in a two-week longitudinal study, presenting it as an ordinary tea towel and encouraging users to interact as they wished, guided by its evolving shape, size, and texture. We collected in-depth accounts of material experiences from eight households in the Netherlands, combining qualitative and quantitative methods. We collected quantitative and qualitative data via self-reporting, semi-structured interviews and a movement sensor embedded in the artefact. We analysed qualitative data through Thematic Analysis (TA) and qualitative data through summary statistics and visual analysis of the movement data. This dataset includes materials used to conduct the longitudinal field study (participant invitations, instruction cards, interview scripts), additional plots of raw data and a spreadsheet file including codes from the TA of the interviews.

本研究聚焦于一款日常纺织形态人工制品AnimaTo的材料体验，尤其是其展演性。我们设计的AnimaTo可在遇水时历经两个连续阶段展现形态变化行为：收缩与展开。随后，我们将AnimaTo投入一项为期两周的纵向研究，将其以普通茶巾的形式呈现，鼓励用户依托其不断变化的外形、尺寸与质地，按照自身意愿自由交互。我们结合定性与定量研究方法，从荷兰的8户家庭中收集了关于材料体验的深度叙事。本次数据采集通过自我报告、半结构化访谈以及嵌入该人工制品的运动传感器三种方式完成，涵盖定量与定性两类数据。我们分别通过主题分析法（Thematic Analysis, TA）对定性数据进行分析，并通过描述性统计与运动数据可视化分析对定量数据进行分析。本数据集包含本次纵向实地研究所使用的相关材料（参与者邀请函、指导卡片、访谈提纲）、原始数据的补充可视化图表，以及一份包含访谈主题分析法编码的电子表格文件。
